Chapter 292 - There Are Things...

"Junior Li Zi, it's good to see you." Yuexi An passed through her bodyguards as she came face to face with the girl. Who was being guarded by Leo Wu and Yang Zi…"Leo, Xiao Xi, it's good to see you too?" 

Yang Zi, who was not informed of the current situation. But knows that Yuexi An does not have any good connection with Li Zi kept to herself. Since she was new to the industry and could not offend someone like Yuexi An respectfully greeted her back. "Senior An, thank you for inviting me." 

Leo Wu who came from a proud and rich family from another country was not a fool to perceive what Yuexi An has up her sleeves. He knows the girl was up to no good when he found out that she invited the girl despite inviting some of the cast of as a cover-up. "Senior, if you please excuse us. We need to look for Bro Ming." 

"Ah, I just saw Senior Ming and Senior Zhang together. No need to worry they'll be here soon." Yuexi An smiled like an angel but with a devil intention in her heart. 

"Senior, is there something I can help you with?" 

Elizabeth forces her way between Yuexi An and Leo Wu noticing both were glaring coldly at each other. She knows Leo's personality very well and the fact he observed Yuexi An's hostile towards her, a proud rich boy like him won't allow anyone to bully his friends. 

"Junior Li Zi, my dear Li Zi… Why don't you join me in welcoming my guest? I can even introduce you to some investors." Yuexi An approached the girl as she locked her arm around her. 

"She doesn't need that, I'm sure I can introduce better investors for her." Leo Wu proudly spoke up in a firm and detestable manner to what Yuexi An is doing as he pulled the girl back to his side. 

Yuexi An's face turned stiff when she heard what Leo Wu mentioned. Of course, he can provide her with better resources, but she can't let the girl escape now that she was within her palm. "Junior Leo, there are things that money can't buy." 

"Well, there are things that a body can't buy... it's called dignity." Leo Wu answered with a disparaging smile and sneering tone. 

Those closeby overheard the conversation going on between the two. It was not long when onlookers decided to spectate and overview what's to happen. 

"Did Leo really just say that in front of Yuexi An?" 

"But rumors said Yuexi An never done something so disgusting."

"Who in the industry hasn't done something disgusting. Maybe someone like Leo and Xiao Xi since they come from rich, respectable family." 

"True."

Elizabeth noticed that they've caught quite an audience already and worries about Leo Wu's reputation. Despite he did not mention anyone, but still he indecently directed his words at Yuexi An, still could cause some trouble for him since he just technically slandered her. 

"Junior, are you referring to me by any chance?" Yuexi An continued to stay poised regardless of what Leo Wu just mentioned. In spite of the fact what Leo Wu said was true, she dares not admit it. Someone like her who came from nothing to reach the top must have gone through the dark path of being a celebrity. But who would be proud to admit such a scandalous past? 

"Nah, I'm sure Senior isn't those type of woman who would dare sell not only their body but even their soul just to reach where they are. I mean, those types of people are normally to egocentric and distasteful. They are worse than a disgusting rotten cheese." 

Everyone's eyes and ears were all fixed on Leo Wu declaration. Technically half of the guests could not bring themselves to face each other. To think they were as disgusting as a rotten cheese. But what can they do, no one in the industry could survive without any support? Only those who are born from a rich family or born lucky can survive. 

"Senior, I just hope you're not one of those jealous types of celebrities as well. I mean, those who think too highly of themselves as if they are god and see others as a treat. I mean, yes… The entertainment industry is indeed competitive but one must play fair and square right."

Yuexi An was about to explode. She's been dormant all the time and dare not cause any quarrels with anyone. Regardless of how everyone has been treating her, she dares not raise a voice; she dare not cause any trouble. But she has had it… She was about to blow a fuse and let all her bottle up get flak to explode.

Before Leo Wu could continue, Elizabeth suddenly interrupted him when she notices Yuexi An's expression has turned dark as if the apocalypse has arrived a day earlier than expected. She feared not only for herself but for all the guests as well. 

Who knows what the girl might do?

"Senior, you ask me to join you welcome the guest. Why don't we go and greet them now? Let's not talk about such trivial matters."

Both Yuexi An and Leo Wu were perplexed about what just happened. Did the girl really just force-feed herself to the snake. 

The dark clouds hovering Yuexi An soon fade away in a blink as the light of heaven shone upon her. She looked at the girl in disbelief. Did she really just surrender even though she was being protected by one of the most respectable new idols in the industry? Not only that, but two movie kings were also protecting her. 

'Hmm, what are you planning… Why would you suddenly give up?'

"Then, Junior Li Zi, why don't you come with me." She said as she grabbed hold of the girl's arm before anyone would interfere.

Before Leo Wu could act, Elizabeth prompted him not to get in her way. She dare not let the boy get himself in more trouble. Right now, they are in Yuexi An's lair and surrounded by her people. One mistake and they can say goodbye to their career. 

Elizabeth obediently followed Yuexi An as she observes what the girl has plans for her. The thought of the girl knowing who she truly is has not left her mind at all. She wonders how the girl will prove her identity and how did she find out? She was so carefully that even Feng Xiaotong and Yun Shen who are her big boss and young heir of a powerful family have not discovered who she is.

'Hmm, then… I'll wait for what you've prepared for me." 

As the two ladies happily welcome and greeted everyone. Huang Ming and Yixing Zhang has arrived and were dumbfounded when they saw the girl accompanying Yuexi An. They hastily went over to Leo Wu and Yang Zi to inquires as to why the girl is with the snake. 

"I had no choice, Sis Li Zi step right into the b**** trap." Leo Wu furiously explained annoyed and confused why the girl went along with the snake. 

"Let's just keep a close eye on her." Yixing Zhang suggested concerned as his hawk-like eyes watch the girl closely and even dare not blink.  

…

Elizabeth who was roaming around with Yuexi An almost reacted after hearing what the girl mentioned to her. They classified her as a world-class actress so she was able to keep a straight face and show no emotion to what she heard. She looked at the girl next to her uninterested in what she has to say. But deep inside she was on the verge of meltdown. 

"So Junior, I heard your an orphan. I feel so sorry for you. I mean, you must have gone through so much pain. Anyway, I heard you don't know where your family are. What if I'll help you find your family? Someone like me who has been in the industry for years already have a wide range of connection and can be a big help to you."

Yuexi An observe the girl but sense no surprise in what she's mentioning. Not even her lips or brows twitched at all. As if what she was saying was far unappealing to her. 

"You see, I don't like seeing people being separated from their family. I too came from a separated family but at least I get to see them. But you…" 

'B**** don't tell me you're not interested in anything that I've said. You are indeed a world-class actress. Let's see how long you can keep that calm angelic face of yours.' Yuexi An thought as she continued to express the sorrow she felt for the girl.
